IVI-COM Driver

[Makoto]

I have recently prototyped an IVI-COM class-compliant specific driver for an instrument. This is still a BETA version but I am going to contribute the driver as an IVI-compliant driver when the development has completed. I would like to know how we can take compliance test and how we can contribute the driver. I previously contacted IVI foundation but no response.

Makoto,

We would be happy to post your contributed driver to the IDNet website in either its beta or completed form. You can submit the driver by completing the submission form on IDNet.

As stated on the IDNet Website, our test tools are currently configured for drivers written in LabWindows/CVI that come with Function Panels (i.e. IVI-C). The only way for us to test your IVI-COM driver is if you could provide an IVI-C wrapper for it.

Finally, who did you contact at the IVI Foundation? The best working group to contact about IVI-COM compliance is the COM Working Group
. I would also suggest that you join the IVI Foundation, so you gain access to shared components and can shape future instrument driver classes.

Thanks,
